Endlis in the sump

If its within the pips then adding a gate will quiet that down also making sure the top of the drain is submerged with keep air from flowing into it. Then you adjust the flow with the gate valve. If its in the sump lower that portion of pipe a couple of inches below the water level.
How many stand pipes do you have in your overflow ? How is the plumbing/overflow set up now
I cant tell but the overflow is internal right ? Not a hang on the back
So the way the gate valve or silences the noise is by restricting the flow to a degree and removing air. Once air is removed flow then increases. The stand pipe would have to be cut and lowered so that its submerged. The end of the pipe (sump area) also needs to be submerged. The gate can be anywhere under the tank.
Before you try this another option would be to tinker with that stand pipe (in the overflow) google hoffer gurgle buster i think thats what its called. I dont remember the specifics but i did use one yrs ago and it worked just took some patience and tinkering. If it works for you this might be the easier option.
